The industry is going digital, and we realize that many plan rooms are looking for ways to make money as their printing business “phases over” into the digital age. At PlanSwift, we keenly realize this. We are actively working on opportunities for our partners to help them stay profitable, and lead out in this changing industry. First of all, plan rooms can benefit by retaining customers and helping them succeed. We want to give you a tool that helps you look good to your customer. Next, we are offering financial incentives such as commissions for referring leads to PlanSwift. Many plan rooms are selling web site portals to general contractors, which is only a small income base. Using PlanSwift, you can begin to open up your customer base to the sub-contractors, because PlanSwift can be used by both general contractors and subcontractors. PlanSwift also opens up many new opportunities for making money in the digital age.
Benefits for Customers
In today’s transitioning world, customers need a solution to do takeoffs and estimates easily and accurately, yet without “breaking the bank” to buy an expensive solution to accomplish this. We can fill that need. Having PlanSwift available to download digital blueprints from the online plan room will make their life much easier, and they will feel that the plan room is helping them to succeed. Not only do they receive the software, but we offer a free training with a professional estimator to help them get going. Now they don’t have to pay all costs and wasted time of traveling around picking up blueprints just for the opportunity to bid on a job. Now they can do it electronically, by point-and-click on their computer screen. We all know that paper blueprints are fast becoming a thing of the past, so we have to compensate and provide a solution.
How to Get Started
Sign up as a PlanSwift Affiliate. You can sign up here.
Put up banners on your site for downloading a Free 14 Day Trial of PlanSwift.
Once you have signed up, you will be able to log into SwiftCentral, our powerful tracking system (you get access to the same tools we use). Within this tracking system, you can copy & paste HTML code for banners that you can place on your site. All downloads that come from these banners will be tracked in your SwiftCentral login. Just copy & paste the hyperlinks and banners throughout the online plan room in convenient places to remind the users that they can download the plans into PlanSwift to both navigate the drawings, as well as performing a digital takeoff.
Allow your users to "Download Plans Into PlanSwift" with the click of a button.
Once the user has downloaded PlanSwift, we can make it easy for them to load jobs in, by providing simple links. If your plan room is already using DFS, it’s likely that your online plan room is already integrated with PlanSwift. The user can just push the “Create Takeoff” button from the “Takeoff” tab when the user is browsing to the job online.
An alternative method is to provide the files in a .SwiftImages format (Example file name would be: Walmart1001.SwiftImages). A .SwiftImages file is basically just a .ZIP file, except with the extension renamed so that PlanSwift knows to pull it in as a new job. So, to use this format, your website would just need to ZIP up the images into a .SwiftImages file for them to download, and you’re done.
Send Email Notifications to Plan Room Users about PlanSwift
Now that your online planroom is integrated with PlanSwift, you will want to let your users know about it. You can easily send out our pre-formatted email template (downloadable from SwiftCentral), or you can create your own, whichever you choose:
